Border matrix
by Fabrice L 28 Aug '17

28 Aug '17

Hi, I’have a lot of courses notes in MKII. I’m trying to move to MKIV. I have a problem that I’m not able to resolve, to make a border matrix with brackets. In MKII, I was using a macro, found somewhere, which works great, but no longer works; here is the macro: % Border matrix: first line and column are label \catcode`\@=11\relax \newdimen\p@renwd \font\tenex=cmex10 \setbox0=\hbox{\tenex B} \p@renwd=\wd0 \def\bbordermatrix#1{\begingroup \m@th \setbox\z@\vbox{\def\cr{\crcr\noalign{\kern2\p@\global\let\cr\endline}}% \ialign{$##$\hfil\kern2\p@\kern\p@renwd&\thinspace\hfil$##$\hfil &&\quad\hfil$##$\hfil\crcr \omit\strut\hfil\crcr\noalign{\kern-\baselineskip}% #1\crcr\omit\strut\cr}}% \setbox\tw@\vbox{\unvcopy\z@\global\setbox\@ne\lastbox}% \setbox\tw@\hbox{\unhbox\@ne\unskip\global\setbox\@ne\lastbox}% \setbox\tw@\hbox{$\kern\wd\@ne\kern-\p@renwd\left[\kern-\wd\@ne \global\setbox\@ne\vbox{\box\@ne\kern2\p@}% \vcenter{\kern-\ht\@ne\unvbox\z@\kern-\baselineskip}\,\right]$}% \null\;\vbox{\kern\ht\@ne\box\tw@}\endgroup} \catcode`\@=12\relax but MKIV gives me the error: \bbordermatrix #1->\begingroup \m@th \setbox \z@ \vbox {\def \cr {\crcr \noa... l.26 i & j & k & l \cr} 16 \null\;\vbox{\kern\ht\@ne\box\tw@}\endgroup} 17 \catcode`\@=12\relax I look for solutions on the list, but did not find anything.Here is a minimal example: \starttext A border matrix: \startformula \bbordermatrix{ a & b & c & d \cr e & f & G & h \cr i & j & k & l \cr} \stopformula \stoptext As I have in my notes hundreds of such matrix, it is really difficult to change the input format. Do you know, or can you point me, to a solution ? I’m in a dead end.. Thanks a lot. F.

ICC profiles in the ConTeXt Suite?
by Pablo Rodriguez 28 Aug '17

28 Aug '17

Dear Mojca, [I beg your pardon, if you aren’t the maintainer of the ConTeXt Suite distribution. In that case I address this message to whom it might concern :-).] After reading some messages about PDF/A and PDF/X, I remembered that all my work documents should be PDF/A. Since we have ICC profiles in the ConTeXt Garden (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/PDFX#ICC_profiles, http://dl.contextgarden.net/misc/iccprofiles/complete_ICC_profiles.zip) I wonder why they aren’t part of the ConTeXt Suite. This would make things easier to create some kinds of PDF documents. In my personal case, I cannot update the ConTeXt Suite at work. I have to download it at home and replace the directory. Having to add the ICC profiles each time is something I’d rather avoid. If there is something I can do to add those files to the ConTeXt Suite, please tell me and I will do it. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

I had tried several fonts mentioned on the ConTeX-wiki in the chapter "Using Math fonts in MkIV" but TeX Gyre Termes Math is not mentioned there. But actually it is [mm] that does the trick and I had not realized that. Even then several of the Math fonts mentioned did not work. Thanks again. Best regards, Robert

Search problems in large source code (unwanted paragraph breaks)
by Jaroslav Hajtmar 28 Aug '17

28 Aug '17

Hello ConTeXist. During the compilation of a large source code that contains many macros, I get paragraph break in output. For a long time, I am looking for a place where this problem occurs. I've tested manual checks and turned on many different trackers (for example use \enabletrackers[context.trace] from wiki) to see where the problem is, but I can not figure out the solution. Does anyone know how this problem can be addressed? In connection with this, I want to ask if there is something like \removeunwantedbreaks ??? Thanx Jaroslav Hajtmar

Unfortunately it has not helped me for I have no idea how to set the parameter \Umathquad\textstyle. Just loading the fonts, as I believed you suggest in your mail, does not change anything: the compilation with a 2017 mkiv still stops at “ 7~$\xrightarrow[none]$~6 progression ”. However, when I use the older font calls, \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[Verdana] it compiles correctly files containing arrows ( $\xrightarrow[none]$ ) with the pre-2017 mkiv's . With my 2017 mkiv it still compiles correctly albeit not with the specified font but with latinmodern-math.otf. (Btw, I found the same behaviour for other fonts, such as: dejavu, times, palatino, bonum, lucidanova, lucida, garamond, libertine, gentium, xits, courier, and cambria.) For me the simplest solution would be to keep working with pre-2017 standalones for documents that contain these arrows (for musical tone- or chord-progressions ) But it intrigues me why some process that worked perfectly in many generations of mkiv has suddenly stopped working in the recent mkiv's. Best regards, Robert Blackstone

interface XML files
by Lawrence Bell 27 Aug '17

27 Aug '17

Hello mailing list, I have a bug report of sorts. I've been trying to take advantage of the XML interface files that come along with a ConTeXt installation, to generate information on the various commands. However, when I try to parse the XML files, I discover a couple of minor errors: - in file "i-common-value.xml", line 648, column 24: the XML comment ends with ---> instead of -->. - in file "t-letter.xml", line 178, column 2: <cd:command> element ends with </cd:interface> instead of </cd:command>. - in file "t-mathsets.xml", line 35, column 0: the final closing </cd:interface> tag is missing. - in file "t-title.xml", line 5, column 35: the attribute file=t-tile.mkvi" is missing an opening quote. - in file "t-fullpage.xml", line 8, column 6: element <cd:sequence> is ended with <cd:*d*equence>. - in file "t-memo.xml", line 136, column 2: <cd:command> element ends with </cd:interface> instead of </cd:command>. For reference, ConTeXt reports its version to be ConTeXt ver: 2017.08.15 12:35 MKIV beta fmt: 2017.8.24 >
